what we protect · what we prevent.
- +Tens of thousands of pesos in reagents + protected revenue per refrigerator event · sensor a fraction of the cost
- +NOM-007 PDF report with 288 readings/day/point downloadable in two minutes for EMA audit
- +Vault of irreplaceable samples protected · genetic studies · ATCC strains · PCR reagents · months of sampling safe
- +Reliable microbiological and oncological diagnosis · media and samples always in spec
- +For reference lab: relationship with client-labs protected · no cross-invalidations
- ✕Hundreds of thousands of pesos in samples and PCR reagents lost in ultra-low from one night out of range
- ✕Period result invalidation + license suspension after audit with gaps
- ✕False positives/negatives in hundreds of results/day from high humidity in analyzer zone
- ✕Total loss of cultures from media out of range · no diagnosis for patients
- ✕Loss of client-labs if the reference lab breaks the received cold chain
eleven use cases · four critical areas.
for the químico responsable.
Químico Responsable + Quality Director. Five cases · reagent refrigerators, ultra-cold reference samples, culture media, pathology freezer, and ultra-low door ajar — every cold equipment in the lab has specific coverage.
for the area leads.
Microbiology Lead + Blood Bank Lead (hospital lab). Two cases · sustained humidity in analyzer zone invalidates hundreds of results/day via reagent-strip absorption; blood bank inside a hospital lab requires dual NOM-253 sensors.
for the quality director.
Quality Director + EMA accreditation owner + client-lab relationship manager. Two cases · COFEPRIS / EMA audit passes with NOM-007 report of 288 readings/day/point in two clicks; reference lab maintains client-lab relationships via integrated cold-chain with per-origin sample reports.
for the operations director.
Operations Director + General Director. Two cases · backup generator ensures cold-chain continuity during CFE blackouts across the network; 50-200 branch chains require national dashboard with per-branch incident ranking.
three compliances · one platform covers all three.
For hospital labs with blood bank, we add NOM-253 compliance with dual sensor per hemoderivative refrigerator.
from sensor to report · every five minutes · without human intervention
Five steps. They run in parallel across all your sites, all the time. When something crosses a threshold, the flow completes in under five minutes — alert delivered, response logged, inspector-ready evidence captured.
measure
Sensors measure temperature, humidity, current, door-open, leak and other magnitudes every five minutes — no operator required.
detect
The system compares each reading against the threshold configured per recipe · per site · per equipment. Threshold crossing triggers the flow.
alert
The alert routes to the right person via WhatsApp, email or push · per role and schedule configured.
respond
The operator acts from the dashboard or mobile app. The corrective action goes into an immutable log with timestamp + signature.
audit
Everything becomes part of the audit package · time series, critical events, corrective actions, NOM report ready in two clicks.
Five steps · no manual operators · no paperwork · no gaps.
five phases · per branch.
site survey per branch
1 dayInventory of refrigerators, ultra-low, media, blood bank + identification of NOM-007 points + per-branch checklist.
physical installation
2-3 daysExternal sensors in each refrigerator · submersible temperature probe in ultra-low · meter in generator circuit · gateway with 32-hour backup.
configuration + calibration
2 daysNOM-007 thresholds + per-equipment rules · probes calibrated in accredited lab verified · EMA template ready · WhatsApp alerts per role.
team training
1 dayQuímico Responsable + Quality Director + technical staff · training on critical alert flow and EMA reports.
30 days of support + first audit
30 daysAstreaIoT specialist available · first monthly NOM-007 report delivered · escalation chain adjusted to the lab's reality.
For chain rollouts with 50-200+ branches: waves of 5-10 branches per week after the first 3 pilot branches.
common questions · before the quote.
what happens if the internet goes out at the branch?
The gateway has 32-hour backup and local buffer. Sensors keep recording · everything syncs on reconnect. If the outage is prolonged, the included cellular backup takes over automatically.
can it connect to existing ultra-low and refrigerators?
Yes. The sensors are external and mount on any equipment · including ultra-low -80 °C with extended-range probes · without touching original equipment and without operational shutdown.
how long does it take to assemble a NOM-007 / EMA report?
Two clicks. The system assembles it automatically with the selected 30 days, per-equipment calibration validity included. PDF ready for EMA visit in less than two minutes.
how are sensors calibrated in labs?
In an accredited laboratory before deployment. Validity tracked per equipment in the dashboard — fundamental for EMA. Recalibration every 12 months (or whatever your quality manual requires). We keep the calendar.
does it integrate with the lab LIS?
Yes · via Custom Integration. We connect you to Roche / Sysmex / Abbott / Beckman Coulter or custom LIS. Cold-chain data arrives at the LIS for result defense.
what happens if a branch closes or relocates?
We recover the equipment · no penalty or de-installation fee. Sensors are designed to move · they can be redeployed to the next branch with low friction.
does it support hospital lab with blood bank?
Yes. We configure dual sensor per hemoderivative refrigerator (NOM-253) plus standard NOM-007 monitoring. Separate reports per unit type to satisfy both regulators.
